'Should Read' looks at Michigan races for governor, U.S. Senate and Supreme Court

With the Nov. 4 election just around the corner, there's a couple 'should reads' out there for people trying to decipher Michigan's high-profile and tight races for governor and U.S. Senate, and a terse look at TV ad spending in judicial races for the state's highest court.

Gary Peters.
And the nonpartisan Justice At Stake breaks down known spending on television ads in Michigan's contests for supreme court seats this year, postulating that it's the most known amount spent in the state's judicial election history.
